Great Company to Grow

Pros

The culture allows newbie Biotech employees to find their way. They hire a lot of college graduates and give you time to fine-tune your skills and professionalism.

Cons

The pay is not that great - without overtime it does not pay for living in California.

Pros

Fast paced, exciting place to work at. The senior team genuinely cares about the employees and the tasks at hand. Teams are collaborative and people are very friendly. The usual small company perks are nice too.

Cons

Can't really think of any serious cons. Some of the systems can be improved but those are typical growing pains

Pros

Good benefits, salary and boss

Cons

Bad employee retainment. Always laying off people and lying to employees. Everyone is just a number here. Every year we all think we’re getting laid off no matter how well we perform.
